Re: [ozmidwifery] need some references

[Sonja & Barry]

Jo, I don't know if Camden will open for births again.  However, we continue to keep it on the agenda and our main focus for looking after "low risk" women so that our statistics support births coming home.I may know more at the end of the week as the Health Minister for NSW, John Hatzistergos will be coming to launch the Camden caseload model. I have had some wonderful support regarding the home birth, however, the woman's husband and mother are adament that she birth in hospital.  Got to be careful what you say on here, as you just don't know who is lurking.

I need some more references to support this alternative model of care from a traditional medical model. In anticipation, Debbie
